Candidacy to the BoD elections: Caolán McNamara

Dear Members,

I would like to stand for elections to the Board of Directors of The
Document Foundation.

I'm Caolán McNamara, full time developer on LibreOffice and member of
the ESC. I'm employed as a Principal Engineer by Red Hat as part of the
Desktop Team and have been involved with LibreOffice since its
inception and had involvement with its predecessors back to a stint as
a Sun Microsystems employee on StarOffice. I'm currently living on the
damp and windy west coast of Ireland.

For LibreOffice the type of things I currently work on are the existing
Gtk3 port and the work-in-progress Gtk4 port. I also act in the
LibreOffice security team as the liaison for LibreOffice's CVE
Numbering Authority, helping to turn security reports into fixes and
managing the admin work required. I oversee the oss-fuzz continuous
fuzzing of LibreOffice and maintain our continuous document
import/export crashtesting process, discovering and fixing crashes
close to the time of their introduction.

Full name: Caolán McNamara
Email: caolanm@redhat.com
Corporate affiliation: Red Hat, Inc.

(Less than) 75 words candidacy statement:

"I'm a long term contributor to LibreOffice on the development front
and I would like to serve in the Board to help represent the
perspective of contributors to our project in order to aid the Board in
making decisions that sustain existing contribution sources and
encourage growth"
